First off, a disclaimer. This is not a "help me set my car up" thread. I'm mainly interested in others experiences with minor adjustments to various car setup parameters.
I've been racing the FBM quite a lot over the past few months and between looking at others sets, modifying for my driving style and controls, and just generally playing around with individual settings, I've developed a bunch of track specific setups that differ mainly in just wing and camber adjustments.
Seems that, at least for me, some fairly generic settings for springs, dampers, ARBs, and toe control work well on all circuits. Recently, on AS1 reverse, I spent a few hours hot lapping, adjusting parameters wildly. ARBs from full soft to full hard, same with dampers and toe controls. After a few laps to get used to the car, I found myself not improving my times at all, but neither did my times suffer. Almost every setup was within a tenth of a second of each other.
AS1R is a technical, twisty little circuit and I figured any major setup differences would show up here above any other place.
Has anyone else experienced the same behavior out of their setups? I would expect laptimes to tell a bigger tale, considering the degree to which I was adjusting settings.
